It did. It was called 3DO. They failed, too. They were too early and so were too expensive because of the CD.

The PS2 got the price and performance timing exactly right--and they are tied together.

The Crash Bandicoot writeup talks about how they had to work around the graphics (triangle limits) and hardware (cycling the CD a lot more than expected) limits of the device.

That meant that the PS2 had juuust enough horsepower to do interesting things but still be affordable. That was a difficult needle to thread back then.
Nasdaq says they will halt trading if a stock has unusual social media chatter
It seems poorly considered to characterize social pressure as a witch hunt. It is acceptable to encourage others to share your moral convictions, there is a vast gulf between that and a pitchfork mob.

Absolutely any feature present in a mainline product that isn't present in a prospective competitor will become a gigantic and unresolvable issue for any detractors.

"gitlab can't X"

"You can just do Y in gitlab to accomplish that, it's fine"

"but it's not X, it can't do X"

If a competing product is anything short of a reskin of whatever the current service, it is unacceptable and unworkable.

Having personally watched this dynamic play out in my co-workers, I don't feel inclined to criticize gitlab for re-implementing lots of github features.
Hi setib, great question. The original idea to use heuristics for preview cost reduction came out of a Hack Week project. This led to an initial brainstorm meeting between the ML team and the Previews team about what this might look like as a full-fledged ML product.

From the beginning the ML team's focus was on providing measurable impact to our Previews stakeholders. One thing that helped us collaborate effectively was being transparent about the process and unknowns of ML (which are different from the constraints of non-ML software engineering). We openly shared our process and results, including experimental outcomes that did not work as well as planned and that we did not roll into production. We also worked closely with Previews to define rollout, monitoring, and maintenance processes that would reduce ops load on their side and provide clear escalation paths should something unexpected happen. Consistent and clear communication helps build trust.

On their side, the Previews team has been an amazing ML partner, and it was a joy to work with them.
That's kind of missing the point though, most bad browsers the author mentions don't do modern web very well. They're likely using an older renderer and are missing many features.
I'm not talking about the GPL or the LGPL specifically, but rather I'm talking about the thing that was in Stallman's head before either of them existed — the concept of copyleft, of an infectious "Free" license.

Yes, you can create different implementations of that concept, that are variously infectious. But the reason I laid out the whole state of the ecosystem as RMS would have seen it when he was still just conceptualizing copyleft, is that in that ecosystem, "infectiousness" was something that's almost trivial, toothless.

In the ecosystem of the early 90s, licensing a codebase was just a consideration of who you trusted to freely use and modify your thing ("us", hackers); vs. who you wanted to not use your thing, unless they paid you ("them", corporate.) Copyleft neatly prevented "them" from swiping and profiting off of the software created by "us", while not really inhibiting anything that "us hackers" wanted to do with that same software.

Contrast to the ecosystem of today: there's an entire category of people — individuals who start projects as hackers or academics, but then build huge software businesses around them — that didn't even exist back in the 90s.

Google is the epitome of this: at its inception, BackRub (Google Search) was exactly the type of project that copyleft was designed to avoid restricting. But it evolved, through commercialization, patenting, SaaS-ification, and scale, into exactly the type of project that copyleft wants to "shun out of" the FOSS ecosystem. (Not that Google Search integrated any FOSS libraries; just that it could have.)

Google's story, is the story of most software projects today. Every developer is considering their project as a potential "open core" for a SaaS, or considering having an "enterprise version" of their tool, or considering licensing their algorithm as a plugin to some big studio to redistribute. Which is exactly why many programmers avoid integrating copyleft software into even their hobby projects. Why build on GCC when you can build on LLVM, and ensure that there'll be no legal problem

Modern copyleft licenses are ever-more-strained legal contortions to make a design that's no longer very applicable to the modern software IP ecosystem, work for it anyway. They're licenses with epicycles.

Sure, I can in fact link AGPLed and LGPLed system libraries in my language runtime; and in a pinch — if there's no equally-good alternative — I'll take the time, work out the precise legal implications, and go ahead with it.

But if there's a BSD or MIT-licensed (or even Apache-licensed) alternative to those libraries? I'll choose that one. Because, in the modern landscape, by doing so, I'm saving myself, my future self, and my future hypothetical SaaS's future hypothetical lawyers, a lot of time and effort.
I think heat is meant to represent the ignition source. The reaction creates heat which then disapates into cold, right?

If this were to happen in absolute 0, would it be possible to sustain a fire? From learning more (just now) about absolute 0 seems it wouldn't but for other reason.

Can someone answer this, I find it a really fascinating question. How does cold effect fire if at all?

Yeah, you can't isolate one aspect of how our global economy works and talk about it in isolation.

And no, I didn't say "I want to deploy capital more efficiently."

I actually used the phrase "is [this] the BEST way" [emphasis added].

We went through a K-shaped recovery. Capital did AWESOME. I'm now asserting that the society should think about better ways to ALLOW capital to be deployed.
I disagree that it's mostly pointless because if you're practicing Test-driven development OO provides a great way to abstract agents and their actions.

I've seen a lot of python code that looks like the example from the blog but that's simply just a narrow example and does not reflect all the potential of OO, not only in Python but in any programming language.

The thing I see in common in such poorly designed OO code is that it is usually not covered with unit tests that are actually useful and informative. Sometimes it's just not even tested at all.
It's definitely been around but I think Unity's (never-finishing) ECS + Rust gamedev community's focus on it has really spiked its popularity/interest lately. Otherwise pretty much every recommendation/engine is OOP-based, with a few straggling extensions/libraries for ECS here and there.

No idea about usage in industry though, but it comes up randomly e.g blizzard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3aieHjyNvw

You can inspect the website and detect a backdoor. It is not easy, but nobody would risk to be caught doing that. On the server side, we have no possibility of knowing what happens.
That stuff drives me insane. Can't cope with it at all.

I'm working in audio DSP as a rule, so I already have to maintain state of 'what the audio is doing related to this set of sample data', and often some things about how controls must move and feed information into the program to relate to a desired change in the audio which itself can be somewhat indirect. Maybe I am just stupid, but when I have to track DRY code I just blow a gasket immediately and can't parse it at all.

I've wondered whether some of that stuff is about taking trivial problems and making them hard to follow for the uninitiated, to protect employment. WHY not repeat yourself, when the problem is repeated tasks? Or more relevantly, why not write a complicated and long sentence, rather than mangle the sentence into a series of more abbreviated footnotes? DRY reads to me like that chain of footnotes. You lose the plot.

Well, I do :)

Translate: Attempt to exhaust NGO detractors by getting them to seek after reports of people who've been exposing NGO.

So, here's some NGO debunking. At the next NGO debunking, you could pretend you never heard any of this.

"Andy Ngo, an editor at Quillette, wrote an opinion column in the Wall Street Journal about "Islamic England" that plays fast and loose with facts and context in a cowardly attempt to fear monger around England's Muslim population.

Ngo visits pockets of Muslims living in London to paint a picture of a terrifying and restrictive land governed by religious law, which is an absolute fabrication that must have required him to willfully ignore facts." https://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-journals-andy-ng...

"Though he poses as a journalist, the purpose of his platform is to sow harassment and violence against his targets on the Left — and the mainstream media have fallen for it." https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/08/andy-ngo-right-wing-antif...

"But it wasn’t until Ngo was attacked at the June rally that he truly ascended to the ranks of right-wing media crap-stirrer. “Attacked by antifa. Bleeding. They stole my camera equipment. No police until after. waiting for ambulance . If you have evidence Of attack please help,” he tweeted, later adding that he had been diagnosed at the ER with a brain hemorrhage and that antifa had thrown quick-dry cement milkshakes at him. (This claim was later debunked.)" https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/andy-n...
the patterns can still be completely the same without OOP - pairing data and functions that operate on said data. enemy.damage() and Enemy::damage(enemy) are functionally and semantically equivalent. But in the latter case (where you separate data and code) you don't need to worry about object assembly/IoC, how to pass a reference to A all the way through the object graph to object B, composition over inheritance becomes the default (at least in my experience using TypeScript interfaces, YMMV with other languages). The benefits of OOP, primarily state encapsulation, stop looking like benefits when it turns out your state boundaries weren't quite right.

Of course I'm biased as I went through the same "procedural => OOP => case-by-case" learning curve as the GP. But I ended up spending a lot of time trying to satisfy vague rules when using OOP - with procedural/functional programming with schema'd data, I get to spend a lot more time on what I actually want to do. Not worrying about SRP, SOLID, object assembly, how to fix my object graph now that A needs to know about B, and so on.
I think they got tired of having folks argue with them about the license.

In short though - was developed at berkeley so released under a BSD license. The license has served them well (there are a lot of commercial entities supporting postgresql development, and lots of others with various forks). And finally, it would be hard to change at this point and they don't see a gain.

A note - in contrast to Elastic, there is no one copyright holder with postgresql. So this makes it much hard to get a relicense to for example a situation where one commercial entity has a special right to the terms / relicensing power.

Based on a single cohort study (all subjects born within a year or so of each other), UK only. Primary evaluation is questionnaire. No focused investigation or hypothesis testing. Correlational study only, no control group. no peer review. At best, this study supports only two conclusions: (1) 20 year-old Britons who report higher use of social media also have a tendency to answer leading questions in a way that could be interpreted as reflecting somewhat higher levels of anxiety and depression: and (2) Prince's Trust-funded research is a good gig if you can get it.
> again, using the phrasing 'finished' to distance the reader from the realities of it.

Generally, finishing refers to a final fattening or other feeding meant to prepare the animal for slaughter. For example, link 1 is one of the first that came up in a search for cattle finishing. Being able to finish half of their bull calves means they are keeping that many on their farm, likely on pasture and in sane conditions, rather than shipping them to feedlots.

Edit: They then ship them to the abbatoir for slaughter.

The submitted title was "Zombie fires in northeastern Yakutia continue to burn at air temperature of -50C". We changed it to what the article says.

Submitters: please don't rewrite titles like that—this is in the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. (But if the article title itself changed, obviously that's different.)
Also, you could use an extension to generate the signature. The password, in this case, would never be passed to the client.
The air pressure is also higher at colder temperatures so if the fire is underground it'd have more forces working in its favor to cycle fresh air to it and the relative temperature difference between the freshly heated and exhausted air and the fresh air would be wider causing there to be more turbulence cycling the air around.
If the incumbent is a large scale pharmaceutical company with thousands of drugs in its portfolio, then it can most definitely afford to lose money under-cutting you when you only make a small handful.

And I think that really just underscores why this approach is the Google Fiber of the US pharma market— it may be able to force prices down for a handful of select customers, and may be helpful for proving a point about true costs and the need for regulation, but its existence is most certainly not some kind of proof of the invisible hand stepping in to solve this problem on its own and that regulation is therefore unnecessary.
What does it mean? The passive ownership usually follows market cap, it doesn't need to buy because the share goes up, it was already owning the correct fraction (ok unless it suddenly enters the sp500 then it might move the price :))

I thought tech lead was a satire (as a millionaire).

Practical application is an area I've always thought was sorely lacking. There's lots of places to learn the theory, but I still don't get it until I understand the applications. Then I start to get a fingertip feel (Fingerspitzengefuhl if you want to come from a certain view).

Whenever I see "Application is left as an exercise for the reader", I read that as "I don't actually understand the subject well enough to teach it fully".
Narrative Driven Development
People keep talking about patients going to the doctor for frivolous reasons, but what I see is that it is much more common for patients to ignore symptoms or take some over-the-counter medicine, and take too long to see a doctor.
The real question is whether Elastic will continue the benefit of externals creating pull requests against their (now) non OSS code base. I for one have some reservations about that. Kind of the whole point of having an OSS code base is getting externals to put in their time and effort.

I'm hardly a major contributor but I have provided some fixes over the years. This license is a bit of a deal breaker for me and I'm not likely to volunteer more time on this. I charge premium rates for commercial software development. I'm sure most bigger companies would also not be very eager to put any time and effort into this code base under this license where in the past this would have been less controversial with e.g. legal departments doing due diligence.

No amount of "clarifications" is going to fix that. It's not a problem of people stubbornly misunderstanding: it's people disagreeing with them. They'll be dealing with negative press and FUD for years to come around essentially any press release, announcement, or other bit of news in the foreseeable future. IMHO it's actually bad for business. And it seems the stock price is trending down the last few days; so maybe it's not just me. Not to late to correct this mistake, just saying. I assume share holder value was the driving force here. Not served by any of this apparently.

As for forks, I don't think Amazon has the right people currently to do anything more than very minor/trivial updates. I doubt that they will fix this by putting a large product team together to actually try to innovate. That would involve poaching people from Elastic or other projects. Easy to predict, because so far they haven't in the two years of opendistro having been around. I don't know about crateDB but I think they are a fair bit smaller than Amazon; so it's doubtful they can keep up much. I guess for them, the key thing is actually keeping up with Lucene updates.
How many more billionaires than those that you've named has it produced?

What about Exxon, AT&T, Aetna, AIG, Goldman, DuPont Chemical, Lockheed, McKinsey?

There's a pretty obvious bias there: the ones you name do good because you named the ones who do good. (which, really, you could examine: how much of that perception is PR?)

We're not lucky to have billionaires. We'd be just as well if there were none at all.
Yeah which is why it's stated as a problem to be solved, not some immutable fact of life. The issue is that we've seen incredibly little progress in this area. There have been studies on the British coal mines that shuttered under Thatcher - the areas are still not back to the level of employment they had before the mines were shut. It's fine to say that shuttering those mines was a good thing - it probably was. It's also factual to say that those who felt the negative effects didn't benefit from the advantages of government policy, and ina human sense beyond employment numbers it means a lot of those people never worked again.

An equally imaginary number that gets hauled out during debates so that health care providers can pretend that insurance companies are the ones responsible for price inflation. If you actually try to obtain the cash rate, they'll give you a 2% "lol nice try" discount off the billed rate.

It's all just cancel culture. They simply won't call it that.
